NO BRIDE OR GROOM.
A Marriage Party, But No
Chief Performers.

Louisville, XIV, Sept. 20.-A runaway
bride. a bridegroom who did not appear at
the time he was due, and is still missing,
and fashionable wedding which did not
take place as il should, is the combination
of odd.events which has furnished sensa-
ton for the good people of Jacksonville.
The principal figures In the affair were
Miss Minnie Madden, of Jacksonville,
and Mr.. Wash Morton, of Wichita, Kas.,
who announced to have been married in
the parlors of the rectory of st. Augustine's
church. Jacksonville. Mr.. Morton was
formerly resident OF that place, and Miss
Madden is the daughter of well-to-do and
highly-respectable people who now reside
there,
Great interest was taken in the anticipat-
ed event. Miss Madden was very hand
some girl and favoiite in the best Catbo-
lie society of the town Mr.. Morton was
expected to reach Jacksonville and take
his bride away the next day. but as he did
not come at the appointed time, twas sup
posed that..he had been delayed, and so GER
tain were the friends of the young lady that
all was we'll that numerous presents were
sent to her home, and the members OF the
family assisted in the preparation for her
departure. :,
In the evening Miss Madden took walk
and did not return. She was gone all night
and her relatives became very uneasy. The
marriage was postponed as the absence OF
the bride and groom effectually prevented
that event from taking place.
A search for Miss Madden was made and
il was learned that she had quietly pre-
pared to depart on an evening train Oh the
day before, and had purchased ticket for
st. Louis She left her parents home only
a few minutes before her train left, and in
probability was in St. Louis at the time
the discovery was made. Nothing was
heard of Mr.. Morton and the friends OF
the young lady are lost for an explanation
of the queer end to the affair.
Miss Madden is said to have received
telegram from her intended husband, and
the theory is advanced that he feared that
her Catholic friends would oppose her
marriage with Protestant, and therefore
he telegraphed her to meet him away from
her home. The conclusion is that they
have been married, but nothing has been
heard of them, and all efforts to find Miss
Madden's whereabouts have been unsuc'
! cessful,

DUBUQUE, Iowa, Sept. 20.-At FIVE min

Eagle point, by which the two engineers
and a fireman were instantly killed and the
other fireman an a brakeman died during
the forenoon.
Charles Fales, one of the oldest engineers
on the road, was on the engine OF the
southbound train and Elmer Winchester
on the nortbbouna train. William Rich
mond and Ed ard Cummins were the two
fremen, and all lived In Dubuque. John
Pernity, of Milwaukee, brakeman on the
northbound train, was instantly killed.
He was riding on the engine so as to open
the switch at Peru, three miles beyond, the
regular meeting place OF the two trains. j.
J. O'Brien' express messenger, and one OF
the postal clerks were badly shaken up
but not seriously hurt.

"Stray Tickets
!. l. us Su day Savings.

ST. l. us Su day Sayings.
Ticket brokers are preparing for
an immense trade during the coming
celebrations and will no doubt reap
rich harvest. 1t is easy to tell where
"scalper,' as they are sometimes IN
Justly called, gets his stock in trade
during the festival and excursion sea-
son, but as be seems to do thriving
business the year round, the source
from whence his merchandise comes
is mystery to many.
ooh" said broker in reply to
question on the subject, there are a
hundred sources from which to get
tickets. One of the most profitable,
both to us because we make In good
profits, and to the seller because it
is all clear gain with him, it is called
the stray ticket You see, every
train that goes out of St. Louis Is
crowded with passengers, and it is q
fy conductor indeed, who catches
all of them; and conductors are 30
pulled with pride that if they are once
in doubt as to whether they have ia
ken up ticket or not, they will, if
the distance is not too far, let the pas
fsenger ride through rather than risk
tackling him a second time for his
fare. Consequently many passengers
ride through without having their
tickets taken up, and these little pieces
of paste board eventually find their
way into the brokers' Office. An ex-
perienced traveller very often rides
200 or 800 miles without giving up
his ticket, which he has in his pocket
all the time. If the CON passes him
the first two or three stationsout with
out taking his ticket he knows at once
that the guardian OF the company's
interests is doubtful whether he has
tackled him or not. Finally he is
tapped on the shoulder and the unin-
formed captain Of the train asks doubt
fully, did / take your ticket The
traveller looks him squarely in the
face and says unblushingiy, yes but
you didn't give me any hat check
The conductor is doubtful and his
good name is at stake among his pro-
fess;onal brethren, and in nine cases
out of ten he will say: That's all
right; never mind the check, I'll re-
member you,' and lets traveller pursue
his Journey unmOlested. This makes
business for the broker. Another class
of tickets we call Straight We get
|, them from parties who have purchased
them. and at the last moment have
concluded not to take contemplated
Journey. There is less profit in them
than any other class Of tickets"
"You do big business with drum
mers, do you notT
"No; that is a popular mistake.
Drummers are practical business men,
e and heretofore have travelled largely
ON mileage tickets. However the In
terstate Commerce Law may bring US
some trade in that direction, though
not o great deal. Why should it? Ii
a professional traveller comes in pos
session of either stray or straight
: ticket it would not pay him to sell it
at discount, as be is sure to have use
e for it again. The fact is. we buy
frem and sell to, largely to class
with whom travelling is novelty"

Wrestling ON Horseback.

San Francisco Examiner.
Sam Matthews, the champion wrest-
Ter of the Pacific coast, arrived here
not long ago. after long absence
through the southern counties and
Mexico. During the trip MIR. Mat
thews met in the arena number of
people and defeated them all. While
in the south he conceived the novel
method of wrestling on horseback.
The thought struck him as being a
good one, and became so firmly fixed
In his head that he decided to get up
a code of rules on horseback wrest-
ling"
In the first place the horses must
be of medium weight and height, and
no horns or projecting points on the
saddles. No straps or buckles to pre-
vent either man from falling off to be
used. The contesting parties must
take their positions at least twenty
yards apart, and the call of time must
meet right side to right side, each
clasping the others hand and then
breaking. The first man being dis
mounted in any way, except by acci,
dent, so that both feet touch the
ground at the same time, shall be
declared the loser and the fall will
be given against him.
Climbing from one horse to the
other is fair, and will be allowed.
Kicking or striking either man OF
horse shall constitute a foul, and the
one committing deliberate foul will
lose the match.
ut is a very exciting pastime,
said the originator, land | think II
will be the coming sport"

deep in the ground, and only energies aft
er its period OF seventeen years is ended.
At Railway, n. j., a house has been
erected above a spot where some of these
grubs had buried themselves. At the ex-
piration of their period the grubs started
on their way to the surface, but emerged
into the cellar, where they were yet in the
dark. In order to reach the light they
began building small structures, and
when first noticed the floor of the cellar
was found covered with small cones,
some of them more han six inches high,
which these cicadas had built in their ex-
ertions TO traverse the dark cavity to the
light above ground.-Boston Budget.

Tread softly thro' these amorous roomS
For every bough is hung with life,
And kisses In harmonious strife,
Unloose their sharp and winged perfumesi
From Afric and the Persian looms,
The carpets silken leaves have sprung;
And heaven, In its blue bounty, flung
These starry flowers and azure blooms.
Tread softly by o creature fair
The deity OF love reposes;
His red lips open, like the roses
Which round his hyacinthine hair
Hang In crimson coronals;
And passion fills the arched halls:
And beauty floats upon the air.
Tread softly, like the foot
or winter shod with ieecy snow,
Who com,th white, and cold, and mute,
Lest he should wake the spring below,
Obi look, for here lie love and youth,
Fair spirits OF the heart and mind;
Alas that one should stray from truth,
And one be ever, ever blindi
